I told myself I wouldn’t post again until I found images to accompany the Wegman story, but I couldn’t resist this one.

Juke Joint Festival

Array ( [blocks] => specificItem [show] => [itemId] => 1252 [exactSize] => 150 [itemFrame] => shadow [albumFrame] => shadow )

This past weekend Jayrah and I along with another couple (who I am tempted to call Mr. and Mrs. Super Pickle) went to Clarksdale for the juke joint festival. Here are a few images from the trip.

Gregory Crewdson

Array ( [blocks] => specificItem [show] => [itemId] => 1158 [exactSize] => 150 [itemFrame] => shadow [albumFrame] => shadow )

Crewdson is an artist that I am not very familiar with, but I am very intrigued by the direction he is taking his work with the use of digital. Some of the pieces look like a logical extension of the film still idea.

His work is represented at White Cube (the site is not very friendly, but there is a large sample of Crewdson’s work). Also, the work is reviewed in a Guardian article.

Built in Obsolescence

The NY Times has a review of Lucas Samaras’s show. The thing that makes his show different is that collectors who purchase his work will be buying a mac with all of his digital files stored on it. This idea has tons of possible implications and ramifications, only a few of which are discussed in the article, such as distribution or duplication of the art.

Eric Fischl made his way into the art history books in the 80s with paintings like Bad Boy

Now he is receiving less than flattering reviews of his latest work in a show at Mary Boone. Larger versions of Eric Fischl’s new works from his website.
I see little change in the last twenty years, but he is consistent. Bedroom Scene #3.
